ORBX is, without a doubt, one of the most -- if not THE MOST -- famous and trusted scenery developer in the sim market. With products for FSX, P3D, X-Plane and Aerofly FS2, they are everywhere. We managed to steal its CEO, John Venema, some time from his busy schedule and answer some of our questions.

Lockheed Martin is one of the biggest players in the market -- a behemoth when compared with companies in the consumer simming market. We have had the chance to talk with Adam Breed, Engineering Project Manager of Prepar3D. The right man for us to know a bit more about P3D, helicopters and the future.

X-Rotors started back in 2004 like many other development start: with a passion for aircraft and flight simulation. Lucky for us, that passion happens to be helicopters. Forced to stop development for some time and to become a low-profile team, they became a development team shrouded in a lot of mystery. There’s not a lot the community knows about them, although the project they have been working on for over a decade now is one of the most appreciated and sought-after helicopters out there: the AW139.
